Who are the parties to the Gould-Huntington contract
"names them" [underlined].

The same persons who are interested in the pool from New

Pacific and its connection, and who although sharing in
the traffic brought by C. P. Huntington from New York on the
Morgan steamers and delivered to the pool at New Orleans
seeking to divert a portion of such traffic by taking freight
at New York or San Francisco on the trunk lines to be delivered to the Missouri
Pacific at St Louis and then delivered to the S.P [Southern Pacific] at El Paso
and in this case keep such traffic from the Gould-Huntington
pool.
